Boom.

rival of the Atchis0n, Topeka Il
santa Fee Surveyors--Othe Indica-
tiOns

Impressed by the favorable outlook for
Rock Island this summer and struck by
that wave IF enthusiasm which has made
everybody in the city happy the past few
months. Mr.. Bailey Davenport has decid-
ed to contribute his portion to the boom.
If there is any man in Rock Island who
has it in his power to aid the city in its
growth, that man is Ex Mayor Bailey Dav-
export and he has displayed his interest
in the welfare of the city by placing on
the market through the real estate agency
Of Medill & Whitehead, thirteen lots on
the Rock Island & Milan street car line,
and located on the land formerly used
for ball park, The property is very
desirable and it will be offered at very
liberal terms To purchasers Then next
number of tenement houses on this
property. There are scores of working
men, who live in Davenport, but who are
employed in Rock Island aud whose
place of residence is in Iowa, simply be,
cause Rock Island can not provide
houses for them. These men as well as
the newcomers, which are daily being
added TO the city's population, would be
ready and reliable tenants for dozen or
tenement houses bringing from $40
t" Sl5 dollars per month. This is u
matter which has been spoken of many
times before in the ARGUS, and one that
comments itself to the serious considera>
ton of business men or others who are
in position to make investments of
this nature. and they should form a syndi.
icate to do so without DELAY. Rock Island
Is on the popular wave, and it now remains
with the people to improve what is be-
fore them
